I am a canadian citizen that unfortunately does not get the sci-fi
network and I was wondering if anyone could tape me a couple of episodes
(well only the ones that I am missing). If you could just tell them to
email me at caramon@colba.net

E2 mailing list is back up. I'll try to get the new subscription info up here asap.
For those interested in getting some E2 tapes, you can try visiting http://www.parrett.net/~satonrd/tvguide/tvg1.htm Thanks to those that passed that info on to me.
A new E2 FAQ has been authored. You can find it at here.
ABC was pitching their Saturday night "drama" line-up which has 3 shows with E2 ties:
C-16 FBI, a show produced by Michael Duggan (one of E2's Producers)
Total Security, with Debrah Farentino (Devon, of course)
The Practice, with Kelly Williams (Mary from MoonCross and BLTMII)
Rebecca Gayheart's b-day was Aug 12th.
There were reportedly many E2 fans at Fantasticon in Los Angeles.

If anyone sells copies of the E2 tapes, could you let me know, since I have received several e-mails concerning this in the past month (sorry if I didn't get back to you). Sci-fi channel will eventually start showing the reruns, so be sure to become friends with someone that gets the network if you don't.
The Stargame E2 mailing list has been shut down (I'll update my mailing list page at some point this summer). When the E2 list is back up and running I will let you know. There is always the heavily spammed E2 newsgroup alt.tv.earth2 if you have info to post.
If you would like to state that you would really like to see a follow-up movie of E2 made please write (or e-mail) these organizations (or any of the others I have on my address page):

Earth2 reruns will began on Monday the 16th of June at 3:40pm on ORF1 in Austria! (sorry I didn't post this sooner).
(7/1/97)
Where does time go....I guess that will always be a tough question. Anyway here is a blurb of significant interest:
In the August 1997 issue of Starlog (pg 46) there is a good 4 page article on Clancy Brown. It mainly talks about his new role in StarShip Troopers but also has pics and touches on Earth 2, Buckaroo Banzai and Highlander.
In the article it says "With the Sci-Fi Channel set to air repeats of the short-lived series, there are hopeful rumors of a possible reunion movie."
Thus, it seem like it is time to write a few letters in the near future to make sure that these rumors become a reality on the Sci-Fi Channel. I'll post a few addresses for you in the next week.
The Sci-Fi Channel also bought Sliders from FOX and will begin airing the new season in January '98.
